Lower Back Pain, Hip Pain and SI Joint Pain Caused by Pelvic Instability
// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //
I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, a my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.
My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.
// NEW CONTENT ON KZread //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to KZread with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.
********** // VIDEO DESCRIPTION // *********
Low back and hip pain are actually the most common type of pain that humans experience.
Maybe this is an area of vulnerability for you.
You have far more nociceptors in your lower back tissue than anywhere else in your body. Nociceptors are the nerve receptors responsible for detecting threats to your body, aka "pain receptors".
Why are there so many nociceptors in the low back?
My theory: the brain and body’s primary job is to keep you alive, and it can’t do that if the central nervous system (CNS) is compromised.
The CNS is housed within your spinal cord, so anything that compromises your spine also compromises brain-body communication.
If your brain ever lost communication with your body you would die instantly.
For this reason, your brain will prioritize the integrity of your spine above anything else.
Those nociceptors in your low back are able to notify your brain immediately whenever there’s a threat to your spine.
Your brain then notifies YOU: with a pain signal!
However...while your lower back is the site of pain, it is RARELY the cause of it.
Your lower back always responds to what is happening in your hips, which make up part of your pelvis. Your pelvis is made up of both hips, your pubic bone, sacrum and everything in between.
Your spine sits on top of the pelvis, like a tree extending upwards from its roots.
Without pelvic stability, there is no spinal stability.
Those lower back nociceptors are like your body’s national guard, standing watch and always at the ready to announce potential threats.
The real problem, though, is in YOUR LEGS (roots).
Specifically, fascial imbalances in your quads (front thigh), IT Bands (outer thigh), hamstrings (back of thigh) and adductors (inner thigh).
If these imbalances are not taken care of, your brain will do everything it can to protect your spine, which means recruiting other muscles to stabilize you.
This is why I've come to the conclusion, after 12+ years in this field, that pelvic instability is the hidden root cause of most pain.
So let's talk about solutions for low back back of all kinds (including hip pain and SI joint pain).
HOW TO RESOLVE LOW BACK, HIP, GLUTE AND SI JOINT PAIN CAUSED BY PELVIC INSTABILITY:
1️⃣ STOP releasing/massaging your lower back and glute muscles. If they are "tight" it's probably because they are clinging for dear life to your hips and spine in order to protect your CNS and keep you stable.
2️⃣ Find the imbalances in your leg fascia that are causing your hips and pelvis to go out of alignment.
3️⃣ Figure out if your gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and/or lower abdominals have become inhibited as a result of pelvic instability.
4️⃣ Reverse the fascial imbalances that are causing your hips to tilt forward or backward, or hike up on one side (causing one leg to appear "longer" than the other).
5️⃣ Activate the muscles that were inhibited: your gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and/or lower abdominals.
6️⃣ Continue with the fascia release and muscle activations until pelvic stability is your NEW NORMAL.

@@stellarjames1 - for sciatica specifically, you'll want to browse for any videos showing fascia release of the quads/quad hip flexors, and IT Bands first, and in most of my clients I found that the OPPOSITE leg of the sciatica was the problem area in terms of fascia to release. So you want to test both legs (quads/ITB), and whichever is more sore/tender or has bigger adhesions, release that side MORE than the other side. Sciatica is typically a response from the body to hip imbalances stemming from the thigh fascia, so to reverse this you have to release the side with more density/restriction MORE than the other side. This is where I see most people going wrong - they spend 5 minutes on each leg and don't feel any different, but if one side has unhealthier fascia and that's the reason for pain, you want to release that side only or that side more.

@@ElishaCeleste thanks! I have one of those sports rolling pins to help. I’ll try this. !
I used to have a lower back problem but not now because I finally found a wise Pilates teacher. She’s an older women and taught us to; ✔️To be aware of our pelvic floor…it’s a thing. ✔️To move from our pelvic floor and get muscles there to fire by focusing on them. (This took me months to learn) ✔️Taught us micro movements using deliberate exercises and told us forget about bouncing or overstretching. ✔️Spoke often about gentleness towards our bodies. That we’ve often been harsh to our bodies but that can change. In addition I learned about fascial release during the beginning of lockdown and that was a game changer: Lastly morning prayer lingering in His presence has helped me in profound ways, the focus is on Him but the result is inner healing. I’m still learning. Healing to all.
Suffered abuse💔💔my heart and mind have healed, my body has not, it sounds like. Thank you for all your kind words and heart!
This is THE BEST EXPLANATION OF PAIN ORIGIN THAT I'VE EVER HEARD! And I'm a health care professional!
Elisha, Did you make the course available as a self study yet? I am truly a mess from head to toe. Doctors, PT’s have been a waste of time. I cannot believe how much they do not know about the anatomy. I’m sure there are good ones somewhere, but I haven’t been lucky enough to find them. Trying to convince them that my shoulders/scapula’s aren’t sitting flush on my ribs, my ribs feel twisted and all this is causing my neck pain. Then after thinking this way, and I still believe those are my issues, but after all this time, I now believe it is indeed pelvic instability. I’ve had 5 pelvic surgeries within a 2 year span, I am loaded with abdominal adhesions . The pelvic instability originally began as a very bad hip adjustment where I could barely walk. He screwed up my sij. Then came the surgeries. I could go on. Anyways, I need help b/c now I am in severe shoulder pain, also cervical spine is being distorted. I have tried over and over strengthening my glutes and they will not fire. In fact, when trying to do it on my L side, my QL kicks in and causes more pain, more sij pulling. Anyways, is your course available as a self study? Thank you. Love your videos. I am seriously thinking of doing the hanging, just kinda apprehensive b/c now of my shoulders.
You are the most informative, wise, and loving being I’ve found speaking on fascia and I love that you always bring in the interconnected ness of all aspects while healing 🙌🏾👽 thank you for who you are and for all you share 💗 it makes a difference
Yes, lower back "scrunch" while taking a "jump" on snow machine...1989!! Holding on to the seat and landed perfectly, but all impact on my back instead of allowing my body to "lift" and take air.....
Thank you for sharing. This might just be what is going to help get rid or begin to heal a body that has been in pain or years. I have fractured my tailbone twice, survived and still healing from a serious head injury, Ajs two shoulder surgeries to repair torn rotator cuffs. There is more trauma to this body but those are the life changers. Thank you again🙏🏼
The way u put all the information together is something really unique n easy to understand...
Thank you for making this and sharing this information. Super relevant to my back pain lately
Fascinating and so informative - thank you!

Great video! I have had numerous injuries to my lower body. I feel when I was a teen on m tailbone. I was hit by a car as a pedestrian walking through a crosswalk. Nothing broken ,however...I was hit by a car! I slid down a wooden banister in high school and got a piece of wood in my upper thigh. I have had a couple of surgeries in my womb. When covid hit, my pelvis went into lockdown. I have seen a physio therapist and she shared that my pelvis is strong. My muscles need to be worked based on being weak. I have had a lot of massage too. It has not been a “cure”. I am met with pain everyday and I want to be able to walk without limping and being in pain all the time. Thank you for sharing your videoas!
Excellent information. My pilates instructor suggested I listen to your youtube channel. She is right. I now have the "whole" picture. Thanks!
Thank you! Love your info and delivery of. You are down to earth and easy to understand. My Ah-Ha moment was, walking imbalanced is what caused all of my issues, thus walking now produces stress for me and my muscles tighten up as I just try to walk 10 minutes. It's not mentally safe for me to walk for exercise yet.
This concept of muscle getting inhibited is something new Wasn't aware of this stuff I would do so much of core strenghtening and wonder why the hell I don't feel any muscle being moved during the exercise Sometimes would even think muscle got atrophied but didn't know this concept of inhibition
Thank you

Elisha, u truly r Godsent. Just found u & im in tears- u were exactly what I needed for going thru back pain for 2 decades. I’ve had all of the issues u said abt causes for back pain. How do I start going thru the process of releasing the tight fascia & inhibited muscles . Pls help . Thank u . God bless u for the superb work u r doing
wondering if this course will be available again?
Nice
I have been recovering from CFS/Fibromyalgia for 2 years now, having lived with it for 15+ years. I still have stuck pain in my pelvic area, ankle, neck & really stiff muscles and it's the one thing I haven't been able to shift with regular massage, yoga/qigong, tapping. My past injuries have been a broken ankle, major fall on my tailbone & abdominal surgery and childhood trauma. Your course could do me wonders! I have learnt a lot from your videos & appreciate that I can find this info to help me on my recovering journey. I have been a "citizen scientist" for sometime now as I'll never give up on getting better & being able to live my best life. I look forward to your next course intake Elisha! 😊

Hi Suzanne - I love your attitude! Never ever give up, I choose to believe there are answers and solutions out there for all of us and that we can all experience lasting healing and freedom. Sounds like you've already done some amazing work. And you have some of the classic signs of pelvic instability. I'm not 100% sure when I will open this course again, but stay tuned because I definitely will 😊

Hello Elisha I am new to channel 3 back surgeries and 3 abdominal surgeries in a short time frame 15 years of chronic pain and now i have severe Diastasis Recti after hernia mesh removal With bowel resection, fistula repair, seroma and bladder repair It’s been a couple years since all those repairs and the DR has shown up and Im just lost on trying to repair anything. Ive been researching fascia and i have had many experiences you name off especially trauma Is there hope to move forward without having Diastasis repaired surgically?
What can I use if I don't have a yoga block?
Hi Elisha I broke my tail bone and I have lack of mobility from it. What would be the best exercises and stretches to do for regaining my balance and speed.
Hi Elisha, where can I find your Pelvic Instability course please?
Hello Elisha. Always nice to meet another Elisha! I just found you today; sad the course is closed. Where/how can I get the exercises without the course? I have been plagued by piriformis syndrome, Achilles pain, IT band issues, etc for several months. Hoping your ideas and techniques help.

Hi Elisha! Wow - I don't meet many other Elisha's 😊 I just closed enrollment last week, and this is actually the last time I plan to offer the course with live Zoom Q&A calls with me. So I'm letting a few people in late who know they need the course and want the live support (there are 4 more calls). If you're ready to join today (before the Week 2 content goes out tomorrow), please email info@elishaceleste.com and I'll get you in. Otherwise, I do plan to make the course available as a self-study (no live support) in 2022.

My glute and core is inhibited only on my right side which causes my pelvis to be more anterior tilted on my right side. It’s caused a lot of imbalances in my body and it’s so frustrating!!

Hi Bella! I get it. That was me for a long time (only it was my left side). You can TOTALLY reverse this! The trick is figuring out what has been causing the glutes to become inhibited in the first place...and unfortunately there's no simple answer for that. It's unique to each person, and there are dozens of reasons why they can become inhibited. The #1 recommendation I have is to avoid thinking that your glutes are the problem. They've likely been recruited by your brain to keep your pelvis stable. The course I mention in this video is available as a self study course, and it will also be available inside a new online membership I'm opening in April. If you want info on either of these, make sure to subscribe to my email community, or email me at info@elishaceleste.com
How do you map your fascia?
My mum is nearly 80 and has extended problems in this area ... for the reasons you talked about ... mostly emotional and trauma based ... is there anything she can do to release the neck while in chronic pain and with muscles that cannot be touched because she also suffers from reflex sympathetic dystrophy
Listening to this makes me want to hook up to an IV DRIP to rehydrate myself at night when I sleep!😂❤
I want to register for the pelvic instability course. The link provided is not working anymore. Thank you!
Hi! I went to a chiropractor who pulled my left leg so hard that I got a labrial tear according to the MRI that I had, but I have been told that MRI is always revealed labrial tears. my left hip knee and ankle caused me a lot of problems and I get hip injections every year. I broke my left ankle a few years back and my knee was pull out from a Zumba injury and lot of years back. I am looking for a way to heal all of this and I am wondering if you are still have the class available somewhere so that I can fix some of the stuff which includes low back pain. I know my core needs a lot of strengthening. Any suggestions?

Those are some hard things to go through, especially the chiropractor pulling so hard on your leg! Ouch. I don't teach self fascia release anymore (but I've left the videos on my channel because they're benefiting some people). I've archived the course mentioned in this video, for a lot of reasons including the fact that I don't teach self fascia release anymore, but also because it proved to be too complex of an issue. And when it comes to chronic pain, mystery pain or pain that's not budging with methods that "should" work, people really need 1-1 support. I do offer online consultations.

Who I recommend would be based on your goals and what you believe is, or what seems to be, in the way of those goals. For example, if you want to be able to hike or run or dance or play the piano, and chronic pain stands in the way of those goals, then you probably want to work with someone who understands how trauma impacts the body. If you want to develop a loving, healthy relationship with an intimate partner where trauma patterns keep repeating, then you probably want to work with someone who understands relationship dynamics and can offer a path towards that goal. I do a lot of this type of work with people, but I'm not a trauma therapist. My approach is based on assessing patterns that manifest physically - in the fascia and nervous system, which tend to create patterns of behavior. If interested, please email info@elishaceleste.com I have someone in mind to recommend if you're looking for someone who can help you with processing childhood traumas and/or anything relationship oriented. dawnofdaycoaching.com/
